The Loch Norman Highland Games is a family friendly event presented by Historic Rural Hill. Come and experience all the fun with Highland athletics and kilted running events, Highland dancing, Scottish country dancing, bagpipe bands, Celtic rock and traditional performers, historic reenactments, Sunday church service, Scottish Clan Societies, a giant kid’s zone, Scottish merchants, haggis and other cooking by the hearth, NC beer and wine, whiskey tastings, partake in long bows and blowgun activities, throw a battle axe, and so much more.

It’s said the Highland Games originate from Ireland in 2000 BC and that they crossed the water to Scotland with the fourth and fifth century migrations of the Scotti into Dalriada (Argyll) and beyond, and are one of the country’s oldest and most treasured traditions. Traditional Highland Games are a unique mix of the sporting, the cultural, the music and the social. They comprise a program of field and track events, piping and Highland dancing competitions, and ‘heavy events’ like the tug-o-war, the hammer throw, and tossing the caber. Come celebrate Scottish Heritage with our community at the Loch Norman Highland Games at Rural Hill!
